My favourite Christmas video.
Merry #Christmas to ye.
St Andrew's #Lucan, night, during the cold snap.
Merry #Christmas! #Nollaig Shona daoibh!
#Nollaig shona daoibh go léir. Go mbeidh an domhan mar dhuine amháin inniú.
Salutations upon #Saturnalia! May we all enjoy what truly matters to us in our short time here.
Nollaig Chrìdheil dhuibh!
Mar chuimhneachan air na laoich a dh'fhalbh.
Frohe weihnachten!
Raise a glass to those 'who are gone but were links in the chain'. Hae a guid yin.

🕯🌲 HUMANITY / HUMAN-DAY 🌲🕯
Up very early ;
Not to wrap presents
Nor to cook a special breakfast
But to feel the silent solitude of
A morning the world slows down.
I sit, quiet enjoyment of the feeling
Created by so many people pausing :
Open
Spacious
Full of gratitude,
& wonder,
What would it be like if,
All the year,
Or 12 full days, or
Even this whole day,
We all remembered
What it feels like to be human.

Seo rudín Nollaigiúil inteach le Charles Dickens atá aistrithe ón Sacs-Bhéarla agamsa:
‘Dá mbeadh mo thoil déanta, bheireofaí gach uile amadán a bhíonn ag siúl thart agus “Nollaig shona!” ar a bhéal mar aon lena chuidse maróige agus d’adhlacfaí é le cuaille as cuillin trína chroí.’

Any errors or infelicities of translation remain Dickens’s own bloody fault.
I trust this answers @seatrout’s question about my Christmas spirit.
